Em             D                       C 
   You got the lights on in the afternoon 
         B                        Em 
And the nights are drawn out long 
            D                           C 
And you're kissing to cut through the gloom 
        B                          Em 
With a cough drop coloured tongue 
              D                              C 
And you were sitting in the corner with the coats all piled high 
        B                        Em 
And I thought you might be mine 
       D                              C 
In a small world on an exceptionally rainy tuesday night 
     B 
In the right place and time 


          Em                          D 
When the zeros line up on the twenty-four hour clock 
           C                                 B 
When you know who's calling even though the number is blocked 
          Em                                   D 
When you walked around your house wearing my sky blue lacoste 
      C              B 
And your knee socks 


Em            D                  C 
   Well, you cured my January blues, 
           B                  Em 
yeah, you made it all alright 
       D                                 C 
I got a feeling I might've lit the very fuse 
       B                          Em 
that you were trying not to light 
              D                           C 
You were a stranger in my phonebook I was acting like I knew 
         B                   Em 
Cause I had nothing to lose 
          D                          C 
When the Winter's in full swing and your dreams just aren't coming true 
          B 
Ain't it funny what you'll do? 


          Em                          D 
When the zeros line up on the twenty-four hour clock 
           C                                 B 
When you know who's calling even though the number is blocked 
          Em                                   D 
When you walked around your house wearing my sky blue lacoste 
      C              B 
And your knee socks 


C 
In late afternoon 
        D 
The ghost in your room 
                Em 
That you always thought didn't approve 
       Em 
Of you knocking boots 
                  C                          B 
Never stopped you letting me get hold of the sweet spot by the scruff of your 
Em 
Knee socks 


Em 
  You and me could have been a team 
Each had a half of a king and queen seat 
Like the beginning of mean streets 
You could be my baby 


          Em                          D 
When the zeros line up on the twenty-four hour clock 
           C                                 B 
When you know who's calling even though the number is blocked 
          Em                                   D 
When you walked around your house wearing my sky blue lacoste 
      C              B 
And your knee socks
